               BLACK TOYS AND THE NAAWP
 
 
 I frequently get berated for suggesting that the NAAWP 
 (National Association for the Advancement of White People) 
 may be an idea whose time has come.
 
 The follow article appeared in a recent Chicago newspaper:
 
 .........
 
                     BUY BLACK TOYS
 
 The Chesterfield Community Council recently announced its 
 fourth annual "Buy Black Toys from Black Toymakers Campaign" 
 for the christmas season.  This organization has compiled a 
 gift suggestion list of black toymakers......
 
 The article included a picture with a bunch of black people 
 "dispalying their favorite black manufactured gift"
 
 ..........
 
 One can't help but wonder what a clamor the media would 
 produce over a similar article wherein was substituted the 
 white for black.
 
 I am not suggesting the present NAAWP is the pillar of 
 integrity or a role model but to suggest that there is no 
 place in our society for an organization or even the idea of 
 promoting and protecting the interests of white folks is 
 simply hypocracy and reverse racism.
